So, seeing our Vivo Girls Sports fan page take off is exhilarating. Here at the beach for spring break with my family, I am desperately trying NOT to check my iPhone, with new facebook app added my daughter, constantly to interact with the new fans there.
Our vivoGS girls seem to be in the summer camp mode NOW, and we hope they realize how cool their closest university or college camps just might be for them. Day camps, overnight camps, lots of opportunity for fun and bonding with other girls who also love to play.
Seems once girls are teenagers they are ready for more than crafts and kum-ba-ya. I actually love crafts and kum-ba-ya, but I also wanted to get better at the sports I played, so I can relate. The best sports camps incorporate lots of fun stuff along with the sweat and competition (which some of us think IS fun :-) ). Can't wait til they all go and report back to us their faves so we can form a summer sports camp "vivoGS Recommends" list for next year. Good and bad, we want to hear it all.
Oh, before I sign off, I have to tell you that we had Animal Planet live here in the low-country of South Carolina. We witnessed an alligator with a half-eaten mammal of some sort chomped down in his mouth. Like a 30-ish pound mammal, right there in his jaws! It was totally crazy. Glad it wasn't my dog Poppy, and that she is safe and sound in Mill Valley, where we don't have to worry about alligators. Guess a golfer here last week went to retrieve his golf ball in a pond and an alligator ate his arm right off! Truly! They retrieved his arm from the alligator but it was too mangled to try and put back on. TRUE STORY.
Okay, that's enough. I digress.
I don't think anyone is following this blog yet, but that's okay, since I'm not really sure what blogs are supposed to be all about anyway. Does anyone really want to read what I'm thinking or doing? I mean, who has time to follow these things? They tell us all CEO's should be blogging, so hopefully eventually some vivoGirls will jump in here and comment and ask me something meaningful.
I don't know much about much, but I do know about teenage girls who love sports. I was one, I coached a bunch of them, and I have two daughters who qualify.
Wonder if I post the alligator-eating-a-large-mammal if that will get some comments? I'll try it.
Thanks for the alligator news Marilou! Believe it or not I am a huge alligator follower, ha-ha! No joke, I love reading and studying alligators and crocodiles. They are very interesting and anytime they are on TV or in a magazine I have to check it out.
ReplyDeletePretty crazy that you got that kind of gator action on your spring break. I know that the population of gators in the Carolinas has grown over the years and that they slowly have moved further inland.
You should google python eating gator through google images, pretty cool. I caught an episode on Discovery channel about a python eating an alligator and he split in half while eating him because he was too big! I guess you could say, "his eyes were bigger than his stomach." Literally!
Hope you had a wonderful spring break. :)
That alligator gives me the chills every time I see it! I can NOT believe that you were that close!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great vacation!
OK, that alligator is grossing me out. Poor mammal. I guess it is true, you must be faster than the guy next to you or you risk being dinner! - makes me even a bit more uncomfortable that a postman found a boa or python skin shed just up the street from me. Lovely eh?!
